A FOG CAUSED HER LOSS.
SURVIVORS OF THE MERRIMACK
LANDED AT BOSTON.

The Captain of the Ship Tells How the
Pilot and All the officers Faithful to
Their Duty According to the Cap
tain's Story.
BOsToN, July 15-The steamer Carroll
arrived to-day from Halifax, having on
board twenty nine passengers of the lost
steamer Merrimack. The passengers ap-
peared to be in good health and looked none
the worse for their mishap. They say they
saw no organized attempt at robbery by the
crew or any marked degree of drunkenness,
as has been charged although a few pieces
of baggage were broken open and rifled and
some of the crew were under the influence
of liquor. But in general terms they speak
highly of the efforts of the officers and men
to get them ashore and prevent loss of life
and property.
THE CAPTAINS STORY.
HALIFAX, N. s., July 15-fug A. c..
Whitney, which arrived this morning from
Liverpool, N. S., brought the remaining
passengers and crew of the wrecked steamer
Merrimack. Capt. Crowell is at Liverpool.
He has made the following statement: "The
Merrimack ran ashore in a dense fog which
settled down between half and three-quar
ters of an hour before she struck. Fog
whistles had been regularly sounded during
that time. The ship was in charge of Pilot
Reynolds, native of Point Latour, who
has been plotting steamers on this coast for
the last twenty years. This was his first
accident. When the fog set in the pilot,
first officer and were in the wheel house,
and while we were there the ship struck.
CAREFULNEss OF THE PILOT.
''Quartermaster Morrison was at the
wheel When the fog set in the course was
changed by the pilots order half point off
shore as precaution. During all our trips
last year our course in that vicinity was
southwest by west, which carried us off to
the southwark, and steering half a point
south of this was precautionary measure,
adopted on account of the fog. When the
ship struck, and for ten minutes thereafter,
the fog was so thick that the light on the
island could not be seen. 1t then lifted and
we saw the light, and knew we were on
Little Hope Island. The first indication we
had of being near danger was the vessel
striking the rocks She kept afloat for half
or two-thirds her length for a time and then
settled on the rocks, listing some to port.
The ship was making nine knots when she
struck In my opinion we were carried out
of our course further than we were aware
of by the current setting in westerly to-
wards the land"

CAUGHT IN BLAZING OIL.
AN EXCURSION TRAIN RUNS INTO
A TRAIN OF TANKS.

Everything Enveloped in Flames AL
most simultaneously With the
Crash-Nine Bodies Burned to a Crisp
Already Recovered-The Number of
Corpses in the Debris Still Uncer-
tain.
ST. THOMAS, ONT, July ia terrible
accident occurred at the crossing of the
Grand Trunk railway and the Michigan
Central railway in this city about Z O'Clock
this evening. An excursion train on the
Grand Trunk road, from Port Stanley, ran
into passing freight train on the Michigan
Central road with number of cars loaded
with oil attached. The engine crashed into
one of these, when the oil instantly
took fire and burned fiercely, commu
nicating to the cars on both
trains, and extending to Griffins' warehouse,
coal and lime sheds adjoining the track on
the west and to John Campbell's dwelling
on the east, all of which were burned to the
ground with their contents. Engineer
Donnelly, of the excursion train, was buried
in the wreck. The fireman jumped and es-
capped with slight injuries The forward
car of the excursion train was filled with
passengers, who made desperate efforts
to escape, but Notwithstanding that
hundreds of brave and willing hands
were Immediately at work to assist in their
rescue, it is said that number of lives were
lost and that the bodies will be burned be-
yond recognition. At o'clock, when thou
sands of people were crowding around the
burning pile one of the oil tanks on the cars
suddenly exploded, throwing hundreds to
the ground with great force and scattering
blazing oil in all directions, and severely,
perhaps fatally, burning many. Nine bodies
have already been discovered, burned to
a crisp.
ALL STILL IN DOUBT.
1t is almost impossible to ascertain with
any certainty the names of those lost in the
wreck until the arrival of the late train
for Port Stanley. There are many conflict
ing rumors, but it seems almost certain that
Engineer Donnelly, Mr. Zealand, a clerk in
j. & w. Mickelboroughs dry goods store,
Mr.. Zealand's child, and the wife and child
of James Smithers, dry goods merchant,
were killed. Mrs. Zealand was got out
badly burned.
THE INJURED.
Among those injured by the explosion are
Herman Ponsford, a bricklayer; Nelson
Gadsby, blacksmith, burned in the head !;
W. II. Joyce, engineer of the Grand Trunk
road, badly burned on both arms; W. II.
WalDOurne, SnleI OF Une flre department,
burned in the neck; Charles Dake, of the
Dake House, hands and back Richard
Woodruff, back and neck; Oliver Norswor-
thy, neck and back, Archie Noteworthy
neck and arms; a son of Mr.. Potts, master
mechanic Of the Michigan road, burned on
the neck, and scores Of others who We're
taken to their homes before their names
could be learned.
CLEARING THE TRACK
Gangs of men under the direction of Su-
perintendent Morford and Assistant Super
intendent Morehead, of the Michigan Cen
tral road, are hard at work removing the
debris, and it is expected that the track will
be cleared by daylight All the telegraph
wires were burned, with several poles, thus
interrupting communication.

CHICAGO, July 15.-The creditors of

A CATTLE COMPANY's SUIT.

Cheyenne Ranch Owners Charged
With Cheating a Scotch Syndicate.
CHICAGO, July 15.-Suit for $500, 900 was
begun in the United States Court this morn
ing by the Swan Land and Cattle Company,
limited, of Edinburg, through their solicit
tors, against Alex. H. Swan and Thomas H.
Swan, of Cheyenne, and others. In 1883
the Swan and Frank Live Stock Company,
the National Company and the Swan Frank
Anthony Cattle Company, composed
of the above named parties,
were grazing cattle over the
ranges in Wyoming Territory. These cor
porations joined with James Wilson, of
Edinburgh, and sold out, for 81, ,553, ,S25, to
the Swan Land and Cattle Company, which
Wilson had worked up among
Scottish capitalists, among them being
Lord Douglas Carbon and Olin j.
Mckenzie. The complaint alleges that
the purchasers relied upon the false repre-
sensations of Alexander H. Swan, upon un-
tried inventories of the cattle, and upon the
reports of one Thomas Lawson, an agent in
the pay of the selling companies The com
plainant says that instead of 50, 167 head of
CATTLE as represented, there were no more
than 60,000, and that in many other re-
spects were the inventories which were
shown them untrue. In making the sale,
the complainant says that Swan represented
that the number of calves from the
herds would equal 22,G2S, while in fact
they were only 1,600. The complainants
ask $500, 900 which they say would only
about cover the loss they sustained. The
suit brought to-day is a sequel of the failure
of the firm of Swan Bros, of Cheyenne, a
few weeks ago 1t was then announced that
the Swan Land and Cattle Company would
be in no way affected, but it is known that
Immediately after the Swan Bros failure
some of the Scotch directors of the cattle
company hurried to this country and 1t is
supposed that the suit brought to-day is a
result of their Investigations

CRIME IN IRELAND.
The Bill Passes the ComInittee Stage
In the Upper House.


in the Upper House.
LONDON, July 15-The crimes bill was
discussed in committee in the House of
Lords tonight Lord Northbrook QiberaD
expressed surprise at the summary disposal
of the debate on the bill yesterday Before
proceeding further with Irish legislation he
urged the party leaders to give tho country
definite answers on four points: Were the
Irish members to remain in Westminster
Was the providence of Ulster to be treated
separately from the rest of Ireland Was
the duty to maintain law and order to be en-
trusted to an Irish parliament Was power
over land to be committed TO an Irish par
lament!
Lord Roseberry QiberaD held that dis
cussion of these points was outside the scope
of the crimes bill. The Liberal peers, he
said, were in a hopeless minority, and could
do no more than protest against the bill. In
conclusion, he said he felt bound to warn
the government of the effect of the measure.
Their administration in Ireland would have
to be continued in a state of siege. After
further brief discussions the bill was passed
in committee without amendment. The
bill will be read the third time on Monday.
A heated discussion occurred in the lobby
of the House of Commons tonight between
DR. Tanner and Walter Hume Long mem
ber for Willis, during which the former
called Mr.. Long a ID snob" The
Speaker of the House will be informed of
the affair and trouble is expected.
